Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thaler was a widely used denomination during the Renaissance period, and this particular coin was minted during the reign of Anthony Günter, who was the Count of Oldenburg from 1614 to 1622. The coin's design features the image of Saint Michael, the patron saint of the county, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
